[OOC] No Turning Back [Sci-Fi Space RP]

[FrozenEcstasy]

@FrozenEcstasyThat sounds awesome. And yeah, I was going for a more medical character, so that works out nicely. Would it go too far to assume that our characters work together pretty frequently?

@CanisMajoris2

I'd say so! They might even have some arguments concerning some treatments x3 Theyd probably both be called up in some situations as a way to create a more well rounded expertise for the ship. I'd also imagine she took more of a scientist role on the ship to his pseudo military/police work.

[Sep]

Kinda surprised to see that so many people joined. It's making me a bit nervous in all honesty XD.

@boomlover

It'll be glorious.

[boomlover]

@Sep here is hoping the rp doesn't die in its crib. TO THE RP !!! *Raises his glass of whiskey*

Biographical Information

Bio: Declan’s mother was a citizen of the Conglomerate, and his father was from Mars. They had met on a Merchant Ship, and bonded over a love of adventure. They saved up their salaries and bought themselves a ship. They became wanderers, though the two children they had were both born on the Citadel.

While Declan and his older sister spent quite a bit of time on the Citadel, most of their time was spent gallivanting around with their parents. Declan has little memory of this time, basing most of what he knew on his sister’s stories. This relatively happy time came to a screeching halt when the Citadel fell. Declan’s family’s ship was docked at the Station. Declan and his sister were inside, while their parents had gone inside to talk with a friend before leaving. His sister was looking through one of the ships windows when she spotted the approaching Devastator fleet. She panicked and used limited knowledge of the ship to flee. Declan was four, his sister was ten.

Declan and his sister had survived the destruction of the Citadel, but their parent hadn’t. They were sent to live with their father’s parents on Mars. They attended school, made friends, and generally lived like normal children. They both suffered from severe Survivor’s Guilt and wanted to find some way to ease that. They both joined the Military the hour Deck turned 18. Declan received some medical training, and his sister went into engineering. They both ended up being assigned to the same ship, the Serpentis. After two years of patrolling the system, the ship suffered a crippling mechanical failure which resulted in three lower-deck explosions. Declan was just outside the blast zone of one of those explosions. He still suffered a shrapnel-borne cut above his eye and a ruptured eardrum. His sister was killed instantly. Despite these factors, Declan acted with remarkable calm, treating the wounded while crewmen were evacuated. Official records state that he saved thirty lives that day. When he had healed from his wounds, he was rapidly promoted from Private and awarded a place on the Vitae.

So, since I haven't stepped in and said I am working on a character... I will now! I've been creeping since the get-go, I'm just slow.

I mean, don't we need a gay guy who is hardcore into plants? (Yeah, making a botanist, someone needs to know how to maintain all this food in space, how to preserve some awesome plants, and to be there to look at possible alien greenery, ohh, ahh).

[Forsythe]

Alien grass, alien mushrooms, all of the awesome plants ;P

[Sep]

@boomlover I'll take some Whisky instead.

Though yeah it's the kinda one where if people disappear you can keep going. Everyone here as I said seems great, so I don't think we'll have a problem.

@Nevix accepted.

@flightless-angel-castiel go for it.

[boomlover]

@Sep Yup also here is the Whiskey you wanted. * Continues to drink his own whiskey.*

[OrangeInk]

@Sep

Remember to put the accepted characters into the Character page, for people such as Heat and Nevix so we don't have to search through all these pages to find them.

[Sep]

@OrangeInk They should post it over themselves, so yes @Nevix post your sheet over to the CS-Tab.

Most people do Orange I think the issue is sometimes people run their roleplays slightly differently to other people xD

[Firecracker_]

On to the final leg of finishing my CS, should have it up in about an hour, give or take.

[Sep]

We're getting closer to an OOC, at this rate we should be ready to party tomorrow (Once the IC starts people can still apply until I close applications obviously).

If I was the type to hashtag, I would hashtag.

I am looking forward, to seeing your sheets.

*ahem* I was hoping to be the token gay but I can share

@Sep @Heat @The Survivor

I tried to tag everyone relevant to my questions. Hi, I'm interested in this RP if you're still accepting. I just finished reading the OOC so my questions are very specific and hopefully will have simple answers, so I will try to be concise.

The first question is the most vital for my character creation: are we allowed to have multiple characters? If the answer is no then you can skip down to the starred paragraph and ignore this next bit, cuz I'm flexible like that, but for now I'm going to assume it's okay because there wasn't any mention of it in the rules. Also, I love pineapples.

Two brothers, both scientists who specialize in complimentary fields. Because of their familial relationship, bringing them on board the Vitae as a unit was something of a controversy. Since they both proved to be valuable assets, the condition of their waking state is that they are only allowed to bring one family member in cryo between the two of them. I'll develop this more in my CS's if I get the okay on 2 characters, otherwise just read the rest of this post as if I were only talking about one character.

**The character(s) I had in mind are a pair of Nagasaki scientists, specifically a robotics technician and a programming technician who would most likely be working under Survivor's character Okasaki. I know Heat has already discussed this with another player but I also thought they could have been some of the key scientists who helped to build and program Michael.

They will also be responsible for maintaining and repairing Vitae's many automated systems, since robots aren't always humanoid, and vary in design depending on what role they are intended to fulfill. In addition to autonomous android-type bots designed as helpers I'm sure there are hundreds of different robots in charge of basic ship maintenance, some that interact directly with the humans on board and many more that work behind the scenes in order to create a sustainable and comfortable environment. Technically they would be working for the military, but the majority of their job duties would not necessarily directly correlate with military machinery, unless called upon for a specific service of course.

I think that's it, please tell me your thoughts.

[Sep]

@Raxacoricofallapatorius 1) If you appear to be able to manage more than one, you can have more than one.

2) If it is the condition that both are chosen due to their skills then that'd be acceptable and then the rule of three can still apply.

3) What'd probably happen in regards to the military, as as they are more maintenance than development they'd likely be given a rank and military training just to fit into the hierarchy of the way engineering personnel are being done (This rule only applies to Engineering personnel because you really don't want issues with the command structure when the ships life is on the line). The programmer could likely remain being classed as a civillian.

I hope this cleared up your questions, if you got more just hit me up again.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

@Sep That does answer most of my questions actually, and I am confident in my ability to play two characters as long as no one objects to it. I figured they'd probably receive military classification, but if you only require the robotics technician to have a rank then I would be grateful if you or @The Survivor would assign one to him, either now or after I create his CS.

As for the rule of three, would it be three each for a total of six? That seems like a lot, so perhaps only three between the two of them, otherwise it could breed resentment among other crew members, for those who were forced to leave some of their loved ones behind, it doesn't seem fair.

[Firecracker_]

Ay, Sep, my bio is turning out to be pretty long and follows most of my character's life. It's near completion, but I don't know if it matters to you, or if you want to me reduce it down to bare details. I'm just getting into to it, haha.

[boomlover]

@Sep does our ship have it's own gravity well?

[Sep]

@Raxacoricofallapatorius comes down to earning, both brothers earned the right but remember this comes down to eligible willing family members.

@Firecracker_ throw up what you've got.

@boomlover do you mean does it have artificial gravity? If so. Yes.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

@Sep I'll keep that in mind. Working on the CS now.
